LOL...dont recall...I try to block everything Howarth. I see him on OLTL and he is basically playing Paul...cant tell the difference. Hopefully we will get some more ATWT DVD releases. I'm sure the GL DVD release will be coming up in January.

I just wish we knew how much older material was available, older as in late 70's and on. I would really, really, really like to see a release of the scattered episodes which are available, or even a few short scenes available when the full episodes may not be. I know they are out there because we have seen, over the years, random clips, like an ATWT clip from the mid-70s with Nancy and Bob talking about Jennifer wanting to go back to school.

That would be great! Here is a 1997 closing Christmas credits. I hate that the globe went away in 95. It's nice to see the spiining globe returned in 2001,

It seems heavy on Marland-era stuff.

I think Roger and whoever else contributes to these sets just thinks, "Everyone loves Marland, so let's just heavy up on his stuff and skimp on the other eras."

I, for one, would love to see some more of the Dobsons era stuff, as well as some stuff from the early 90's.

I'm hoping it looks better when we see the final episode list.

I've not even opened my ATWT sets yet, been too busy to watch anything or participate in this thread. At least there seemed to be some random stuff there and the eras seem a lot more spread out (given what still existed of the show in archive).

Which material was the Dobsons on GL?? As for ATWT.....I would have liked to have seen more of Dobson era and Bunim era....Whit's death.....More of the McColls......Derek and Lily.....The Ruxton Hills stuff...so much stuff I want to see.....thats why I hope there is more ATWT DVDs released. I'd even pay more for a 30 episode box set.

Want to add more of Craig/Betsy/Steve story leading up to the explosion.

It's interesting you think that. I never even considered Doug Marland as a criteria or thought for one second. Off the top of my head I can't even remember the exact date he took over. There's no diabolical plots going on. I tried to create a good cross section of episodes everyone could enjoy. The episodes available start in Oct. 1979 so that was the boundary. I loved the late 1970s but just had no chance to use those. There are some random shows available that aren't consecutive but might appear in future sets. We may have the first hourlong GL in storage but not 100%.

If it's the one where she wanted to leave the hospital to go home to see Ross that's on YouTube, I never even looked at that tape.

One of the problems is that if the stuff about 1979 and on being complete is also accurate for GL, then most of the Dobsons work is not available.

The Dobsons were there from about 1975-early 1980.

Very little of the Marland era is available on Youtube, so I'm hoping to see it. I'm not sure how much of that will be included though - the teaser also describes the first Long run, and then the 2007 anniversary episode.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
